Objective: The primary aim of this study was to investigate the acute impact of methylphenidate (MPH) on sleep parameters in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) children. The second aim was to investigate the different effects of intermediate- and longacting MPH on sleep parameters. The third aim was to test the different effects of dose and age on sleep parameters.
Methods: Ninety-three ADHD children were enrolled and randomized to two different MPH preparations. Baseline and daily sleep diaries were evaluated for four weeks after taking medication. Weekday and weekend bedtimes, wake-up times, sleep latencies and total sleep times were compared by weeks.
Results: After taking MPH, there was a significant delay in bedtimes and a significant reduction of total sleep time (TST) both on weekdays and at weekends. There was also a significant delay in wake-up time on weekdays. However, the difference was applied to younger age group children only. There was no difference in changes of TST between metadate-CD and OROS-MPH. There also was no difference in changes of TST with different doses of MPH.
Conclusion: MPH had negative impacts on sleep among young ADHD children, but different preparations and doses did not affect the result.

Global, regional, and national trends in drug use disorder mortality rates across 73 countries from 1990 to 2021, with projections up to 2040: a global time-series analysis and modelling study.

Background: Drug use disorder (DUD) poses a major public health crisis globally, necessitating immediate attention to global trends and future projections to develop effective health policies and interventions. Thus, we aimed to estimate the global trends in DUD mortality rates from 1990 to 2021 and future projections of DUD deaths until 2040 across 73 countries.
Methods: In this time-series analysis and modelling study, we investigated the global trends in DUD mortality rates from 1990 to 2021 using the WHO Mortality Database and forecasted future trends through 2040.
The impact of uric acid levels in the pathophysiology and its contribution to the prediction of diagnosis in restless legs syndrome.

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is characterized by an uncomfortable urge to move the legs, worsened in the evening, occurring at rest, and relieved temporarily by movement. Although its pathophysiology remains incompletely understood, oxidative stress has been suggested. Uric acid (UA) is a marker associated with oxidative stress, and its reduced levels pose a risk for certain neurodegenerative diseases.

Unlabelled: Sleep-disordered breathing is common among patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), and might impact their quality of life due to nighttime hypoxemia and awakenings. However, the factors contributing to deterioration in quality of life remain unclear. This study investigated the factors associated with quality of life deterioration in patients with HFpEF and sleep-disordered breathing.

Insomnia, as a common sleep disorder, is the most common complaints in medical practice affecting a large proportion of the population on a situational, recurrent or chronic basis. It has been demonstrated that, during wakefulness, patients with insomnia exhibit increased EEG power in theta, beta, and gamma band. However, the relevant mechanisms underlying such power changes are still lack of understanding.

Objectives: To assess whether exposure to an infant safe sleep initiative was associated with maternal report of infant safe sleep practice at home and to identify other predictive factors.
Methods: After linking Pennsylvania data on infant safe sleep initiative implementation at 27 hospitals to birth certificate and Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) data from 2017 to 2021, we generated descriptive statistics to compare infant safe sleep practice and other characteristics between respondents exposed to the initiative and all other PRAMS respondents with a hospital birth. Using multivariable logistic regression, we modeled the association between exposure to the initiative and maternal self-report of placing their infant to sleep on their back, on a separate surface, without soft objects, or room sharing without bed sharing.
